I The change in Duncan Di aling Hall has been from a fami ly-style serving line — one in which one entree is served in lass quantity — to a cafeteria style, in which several meal selections are offered. I On one side of Duncan the cjieteria-style line is being used, while the regular family-style system is used on the other. Corps Commandant Col. Donald Burton said the new' serving lines have caused a time problem because freshman cadets have not been able to fin ish their meals in the designated 30-minute time period. He said the system may be switched back to family-style. “Right now we’re just examin ing the pros and cons of the cafeteria-style,” he said. “We may get back to using the family- style.” Lloyd Smith, assistant dire ctor of food services, said he feels the only problem with the new system is that it has changed the cadets’ routine. The purpose for the experiment is to find a system that will eliminate some of the waste of serving food family-style. Fie added that the experi ment is also designed to give the cadets a variety of food choices. The key issue is to improve service, Burton said. The cadets continue to march in and sit together. Other than the time factor, Burton said he had re ceived no major complaints. staff photo by David Fisher Theresa Jones, the new Miss Texas A&M, receives a diamond pendant in the shape of Texas from Terry Stegall, district manager for Zales which donated the pendant. ; Welcome to the I Gulf Connection • l We know how much you loved our Mon- • day shrimp special so now we offer a spe- l cial Mon. -Thurs. • J Well travel to the Gulf once a week to • buy shrimp.
